An enormous part of German industry will, therefore, be condemned inevitably to destruction.

The need of importing foodstuffs will increase considerably at the same time that the possibility of satisfying this demand is as greatly diminished.
In a very short time, therefore, Germany will not be in a position to give bread and work to her numerous millions of inhabitants, who are prevented from earning their livelihood by navigation and trade.

These persons should emigrate, but this is a material impossibility, all the more because many countries and the most important ones will oppose any German immigration.

To put the Peace conditions into execution would logically involve, therefore, the loss of several millions of persons in Germany.

This catastrophe would not be long in coming about, seeing that the health of the population has been broken down during the War by the Blockade, and during the Armistice by the aggravation of the Blockade of famine.
